What game /v/?

>>723434718 (OP)
classic tf2 before hats were added

tbc needs to be integrated into vanilla+ somehow, it just has too much cool shit, and retains vanilla's soul at the same time

4 swords adventure on a sleepover might with 4 GBAs hooked up to a gamecube.

Final Fantasy XI Online during the years 2006-2009. All the friendships, the linkshell I was in, the cooperation required with other players, the hard as hell gameplay, so punishing and challenging. The whole party getting wiped from a bad pull, god I miss those times.
Halo 2 multiplayer on the xbox being an intro to multiplayer FPS for me, the lobbies, the shit talking, the fun.
The absolute hype for Halo 3 before it came out, and then spending all christmas break playing it with my cousins and friends.
Playing Mass Effect for the first time.
Goldeneye 64 with my cousins at grandmas house, staying up late and then my cousin showing me Tiberian Sun which introduced me to command and conquer
ocarina of time blowing the absolute shit out of my mind when I first played it.

>had just moved out of my parents house
>my first weekend all by myself
>ordered a pizza
>spent the night playing Bloodborne on my brand new PS4

For some reason its a really comfy memory

>>723434718 (OP)
I don't know what this is, but I'm sorry for you loss.

>>723434807
how it was?
>>723434842
i don't have enough time to play wow like i used to but it would be awesome.
>>723435041
why don't you call some friends and try?

>>723435041
for me it was sleepovers playing goldeneye, mario tennis, lego racers, 1080 snowboarding, rogue squadron, cruisin world, mario party 1 and 2, and tony hawk.

>>723434718 (OP)
Jak and Daxter

>>723435435
I've never even played WoW and I knew it was from that just from seeing the image. I mean I couldn't name the area or anything I just recognize the art style and it's clearly an MMO

Anyone else feels nostalgic for the world pre-covid?
Its not like life was amazing, but everything felt different back then. 2019 feels like a lifetime ago

>>723434718 (OP)
Northern Journey was great

>>723435330
i have a similar one with bloodborne but i had moved out of the place i shared with my roommates to my own downtown apartment. went from living with three other dudes to being on my own so i was able to really focus on the game and get into it. it is still in my top 3 all time

Late millennials / Early gen Z are the last generation of men because they grew up on this instead of wokeslop

I used to just go to some random floating island when I was depressed

Knowers know

>>723434718 (OP)
the days where i obsessively modded civilization 2 and simcity 2000. was tweaking numbers, creating maps and tilesets. was pretty impressive for a 12 year old

wish i could still pay that much attention to detail and have the patience for tweaking tiny things like that

Remember the hype threads? The crazy theories? The ruse cruise?

Heroes of Newerth

>>723434718 (OP)
ark survival evolved in the first few months of EA was some of the msot fun i have ever had in a video game. I dont like the way the balance shifted with all the updates even if a lot of it was adding cool dinos.

You never played the game.

/v/ before gamergate and the 2016 elections

>>723434718 (OP)
>What game /v/?
Getting into the ARMA 2 DayZ mod and having one of the most immersive and terrifying game experiences ever despite the jank.

>>723436516
Interactive UI were the fucking tits. I miss those.

>>723434718 (OP)
If you told me this was a screenshot of a late 90s collectathon game I would believe you

>>723434718 (OP)
Never experience for the FIRST time again? or never actually experience again? period. Because the same is true for both statements.

>>723434718 (OP)
EvE Online circa 2008. Wakfu/Dofus at launch. Company of Heroes before it sucked.

>>723437016
Now that I'm on the subject of Thief and SC, and this thread may have had something to do with games you can never experience online again: Thievery UT and Spies vs Mercs

>>723435730
heh, are you my shadow?
>>723435994
i remember making a post about this game when it was released, and my cousin said "aren't you forgeting something?" it was his birthday but i didn't care.
>>723436594
this is one of those things that i always wanted to feel but my pc couldn't run it.
>>723437016
like this first time, sorry, my mistake. i can run over nagrand again but is not the same feeling.

Spending my time watching the sunset, waiting for the horde to go somewhere else so i could keep leveling.

It was a fun time, friend.

Now im sad.

Morrowind

>>723435330
Bloodborne is mediocre at best

mods let it happen
the users let it happen
every time you didnt push back against it, you let it happen

>>723438890
feels so familiar but also like something from a dream. Any chance it's Graal Online?

>>723435604
Yeah 1989

Why are modern games so shit at rain?
Why are modern games so shit at making you want to explore something without a quest marker?
Why are modern games so shit at making relatable characters 4 did it best tho?
Why does modern halo exist?
Ten billions years since minecraft released and every survival crafty buildy miny game since fails to live to a game I paid 5usd for before it released.
Why are so many modern games so shit at mods?
Why are modding sites so fucking shit compared to what they used to be?

We must go back.

>>723434718 (OP)
All the PS2 classics. Jak and Daxter, Ratchet and Clank, Spyro, GTA San Andreas, and Sly Cooper

>>723435330
I most associate Bloodborne with drinking boxed wine and listening to sad music until 5 in the morning

>>723439920
idk about you i dont want to live anywhere near that psycho holding the capital hostage with a meteor
for me it's gnisis or even ald'ruhn

Game ran like shit on my toaster.

They're not drawing them, retard, that's the problem.

>>723440618
And that's a good thing

>>723441968
Nah, internet was going to shit since every retard you've ever known got a smart phone in their pocket. Remember all those people in class (if you are old enough) that you were glad were too retarded or normal to sit at a computer chair and connect to the internet on some desktop to access some weird anime website?
Well, now all of them got access from the comfort of their toilet
Internet was fucked before Indians also gained access. I'd say around 2009 was the last good year

mein negro.
That game consumed my life late 2001 to 2005.

>>723434718 (OP)
warlords of draenor : the best wow expansion, the community was so much better and more social back then

Ragnarok Online

I'll never experience my favorite MMORPG with populated servers and no quality of life changes that forced people to talk to eachother ever again
but that's what makes it beautiful I guess

>>723440197
shut up
im not here to make friends

Coming across the huge crystal with the music track that took the melody from one of Mozart's operas and made it slower and grander was worth nearly dying to get to. That was something else.

There will never be as groundbreaking a game as Everquest. UO and Meridian 59 existed before it but the first true 3D MMORPG was something special, particularly the PvP servers because it added even more danger to your adventure. Getting PK'd at the bottom of some of the classic dungeons in 1999-2000 meant you were almost certainly fucked and lost all of your gear that took weeks or months to acquire. Leveling in the newbie zones like Greater Faydark was like the jungles of Vietnam for Elven players on Tallon Zek, if you made it 15 minutes without getting attacked and killed mid combat with NPC it was a special day.

WoW's music doesn't get the appreciation it deserves. In terms of atmospheric music, it's top tier.

i used to very autistically force my guildmembers and friends to do steam tonk controller fights on a few of these flying rocks with me, the one near the northeast entrance of the map had a lot of cool geometry to do tank battles on
>>723437870
i remember deciding to go bloodsail buccaneers and farming guards in that stupid fucking bottom ramp walkway because they wouldnt aggro everything else in the town more than any fun ganking experiences, then i think right after getting my admiral hat i put it on in my next onyxia raid
it's never coming back, sucks

Playing Terraria for the first time, not having a clue what anything is because I bought a physical copy before I had internet so there was no wiki.

Playing any GTA or RDR for the first time when it's new and mysterious too, but I'll be skipping GTA 6.

First minecraft world. First taste of success in any paradox game, etc. Too many things to list for this thread which will probably get archived the second I post in it.

>>723443016
I think it gets an acceptable amount of appreciation at least the zone music does, don't see much of the raid music though which is also great.

when i tried dedicating time and freemium playing this game around middleschool i ended up getting killed and restarting characters pretty often without much success getting beyond ~30, i mostly remember thais having a lot of pkers and high level guys afking around town
i never got to master it but i guess its a memory

>>723443725
too pussy to share your experiences huh
